Profhilo®
Hydrating & Skin Tightening Treatments at CJA Aesthetics Clinics Southampton and across Hampshire
Rejuvenate and hydrate your skin with a Profhilo® skin remodelling treatment at CJA Aesthetics Clinics in Southampton and across Hampshire.
Profhilo® is a revolutionary 'beneath the skin' hyaluronic acid moisturising treatment, designed to stimulate the activity of the skin's cells. Unlike some other anti-aging treatments such as dermal fillers or anti-wrinkle injections, it does not restrict muscle movement or fill lines and wrinkles by adding volume to the skin. Instead it uses patented technologies to work on the condition of the skin. It nourishes it from within, restoring hydration and skin firmness and promoting the skin’s own collagen and elastin production for outstanding anti-aging results.
A Profhilo® treatment provides one of the highest concentrations of pure hyaluronic acid on the market. This not only boosts and hydrates the skin, but also remodels ageing and sagging tissue, tightening the skin. The result is a healthy, looking, dewy glow that can make your face look visibly younger after just two treatments.

How does Profhilo work?
Profhilo is an advanced skin remodelling treatment that uses one of the highest concentrations of ultra-pure hyaluronic acid available. Carefully injected into specific points beneath the skin, it spreads evenly throughout the treatment area to deeply hydrate the skin from within.
Hyaluronic acid is a substance naturally found in the body that helps keep the skin hydrated, smooth and supple. As we age, our natural levels of hyaluronic acid, collagen and elastin decline, leading to dryness, loss of firmness and the appearance of fine lines.
Rather than adding volume like traditional dermal fillers, Profhilo works by stimulating your skin's natural production of collagen and elastin while attracting moisture into the deeper layers of the skin. The result is healthier, firmer and more radiant skin, with noticeable improvements in hydration, texture, elasticity and overall skin quality.
How long will the results of Profhilo last?
Following your initial course of two Profhilo treatments, the results typically last around 6 to 8 months, although this can vary depending on factors such as your age, skin condition and lifestyle.
Profhilo doesn't just hydrate the skin temporarily. Its stabilised hyaluronic acid continues to stimulate your body's natural production of collagen and elastin, helping to improve skin firmness, elasticity and overall skin quality over time. As a result, your skin will continue to look smoother, healthier and more radiant long after your treatment.
To maintain your results, we usually recommend a maintenance treatment every 6 to 8 months. During your consultation at CJA Aesthetics Southampton, we'll create a personalised treatment plan to help you keep your skin looking its best.
What's the Difference Between Profhilo and Dermal Fillers?
Although both treatments contain hyaluronic acid, Profhilo and dermal fillers are designed to achieve very different results.
Profhilo is a skin remodelling treatment that improves the overall quality of your skin. It spreads beneath the skin to deeply hydrate, stimulate collagen and elastin production, and improve firmness, texture and radiance. It does not add volume or change the shape of your face.
Dermal fillers, on the other hand, are used to restore lost volume, enhance facial contours and smooth deeper lines. They are carefully placed in specific areas, such as the cheeks, lips or jawline, to sculpt and define facial features.
If your main concern is dull, ageing or crepey skin, Profhilo may be the ideal choice. If you're looking to restore volume or enhance your facial contours, dermal fillers may be more suitable. In some cases, the two treatments can be combined to achieve comprehensive, natural-looking facial rejuvenation.
During your consultation at CJA Aesthetics Southampton, we'll assess your skin and discuss your goals before recommending the treatment—or combination of treatments—that will give you the best results.

Profhilo® FAQs
Which areas of the body can be treated with Profhilo?
«Profhilo can be used to treat not only the face and neck but other areas of the body which are prone to crepey skin.
Profhilo can be used on:
- Face
- Neck
- Decolletage
- Hands
- Arms
- Knees
- Abdomen
- Any other areas with loose skin.
Is a Profhilo treatment painful?
«Most patients do not to report any major discomfort during the procedure. Prior to your treatment we can apply some numbing cream to the treatment area if you wish.
The needle used is very fine, but you may experience a pin prick and slight stinging sensation as the Profhilo gel enters the skin.
Are there any side effects to a Profhilo treatment?
«The skin usually recovers within a few hours of treatment. Initially, for about 3 to 4 hours after the procedure, you may notice small bumps where you’ve been injected and the hyaluronic acid has not yet fully dispersed into your skin.
You may also experience some redness, bruising or tenderness at the injection site, as is the case for all injectable treatments. This will usually clear within 24 hours.
When will I see results from Profhilo?
«Many patients notice their skin feels more hydrated and radiant within a few days of treatment. However, the full benefits develop gradually as collagen and elastin production increases. The best results are usually seen around 4–8 weeks after your second treatment, when the skin appears smoother, firmer and more youthful. Your practitioner will discuss the expected timeline and any maintenance treatments during your consultation.
Is Profhilo suitable for everyone?
«Profhilo is suitable for both men and women who are beginning to notice signs of skin ageing, such as dryness, fine lines, loss of elasticity or crepey skin.
It is commonly chosen by patients in their 30s and beyond, but suitability depends on your skin concerns rather than your age. During your consultation, we'll assess your skin and recommend whether Profhilo is the best treatment for you.
Is Profhilo better than Botox?
«Other than the fact that they are both administered by injection, Profhilo and Botox are completely different treatments and cannot be compared.
Anti-wrinkle injections such as Botox work on the muscles with the skin to relax them and thus reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles around the injection area.
By contrast, Profhilo uses hyaluronic acid injected into the skin to condition it from within. It gathers moisture from within the body into the skin and stimulates the skin's natural production of collagen and elastin for skin that is firmer, hydrated and glowing!
What is the aftercare advice for Profhilo?
«You can normally resume usual activities immediately although you should avoid the following:
- swimming - avoid for 48 hours
- massaging the area - avoid for 24 hours
- extreme temperatures - avoid for 7 days
Full aftercare advice will be given at your consultation
Can Profhilo be combined with other treatments?
«Yes. Profhilo works well alongside many other aesthetic treatments, including anti-wrinkle injections, dermal fillers, microneedling and laser skin rejuvenation. Combining treatments can often achieve more comprehensive facial rejuvenation. During your consultation, we'll recommend the most suitable treatment plan for your goals.
